The Crocodile River in Mpumalanga is one of South Africa's most diverse and dramatic fishing destinations, originating in the Steenkampsberg Mountains north of Dullstroom and traveling eastward through a remarkable range of landscapes before joining the Komati River at Komatipoort. With a catchment area of 10,446 km², the river transitions from cool highland trout water in its upper reaches to warm lowveld habitat supporting some of Africa's most exciting sport fish. Along its course, it winds through the Schoemanskloof valley, tumbles down Montrose Falls, passes through the Nelspruit industrial and agricultural areas, and ultimately borders the iconic Kruger National Park. This extraordinary range of elevation and habitat makes the Crocodile one of the most varied fishing rivers in southern Africa.
